Day 53 {Campers}
Kate and her friends are going to camp this week. She was a little bit nervous when I dropped her off, but she seemed to feel better once she was hanging with her buddies.

Day 52 {Polar Bear Plunge}
We went with some out of town friends to Sea World today and experienced the rare treat of being able to watch two of the polar bears rough housing in the water.

Day 51 {Cookies for sale}
Our first of many planned site sale.
This is my troops 6th year selling Girl Scout cookies, so you could say that they are seasoned professionals. They can tell if a customer is interested in buying cookies or if that person is just going to walk right by ignoring their sweet little faces.
It is actually kind of funny the way people try not to make eye contact. One women came out of the grocery store, put on her sunglasses, then snapped the hood of her jacket up over her head.
I understand that people hate saying no, but really.....it's ok (they are used to it). Saying no thank you is far better than pretending they aren't there!

great pictures! Fantastic one with the polar bears!
We are selling cookies here too! Love the polar bear too! :)
Polar bears are one of my favorites!!
Umm, I love thin mints and samoa's. Yummy goodness. I am not sure I could ignore the cookies if I tried!!!
I am soooo guilty. I've never put on sunglasses or pulled a hood over my head but I must admit that I've averted my eyes and scurried away so I don't have to say no. Where have I been? What am I doing? I promise you I will never do that again! I was even a Brownie in something like 1952 and even though I lived in a town of 1,000 people I sold 100 boxes of cookies. My own daughter sold Girl Scout cookies. I always buy from the neighborhood kids but I guess I'm just riddled with guilt that I can't buy from everyone so I try to make myself invisible. How silly! The next time I see these girls outside the grocery store or wherever, I'm going to walk right up to them and say something like, "I'm sorry I can't buy from you because I've already bought cookies from Jennie who is in the Cactus Wren troop. Do you know her? No? Well, she is the one of the coolest girls I know. Good luck and I hope your troop has a fantastic sale this year. Keep up the good work!" Now, was that so hard? Absolutely not! THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing this to my attention and I do so hope other old cranky women get their eyes opened too!
Well I bought cookies from the Girl Scouts outside of my grocery store, so I am feeling better now :)
There is a new Polar Bear exhibit at the San Diego Zoo now, I am excited to go see it
GS cookies = why I can't fit into my spring clothes lol :) Great angle on it!
We love polar bears and visit them virtually at the San Diego Zoo almost daily from our home here in NC :) I will show my girls your shot.
How was camp? Scary for mama! All beautiful shots!
great shots you made!!
Your daughter and her friends are really beautiful young ladies, I'm sure they'll have fun!
Love the photo of the swimming ice bears.
I don't know those cookies but the wrappings are colourful - nice photo!!
Hugs, maike
Thanks for the photo prompt on "Write With Pictures" The ballet shoes sent a strong signal through me. I posted on that site, pluse used it as a post on my site. You are welcome to visit. www.glnroz33.blogspot.com. thanks , glenn
i have looked at your photos. All of them are great. You hear that all the time, but you really do have an eye..
I bet Kate will have a great time at camp. How funny about the Girl Scout cookies. You are correct, it's best to acknowledge the girls by smiling and saying no thank you.
Hope Kate has a fun week of camping!
I love to watch the polar bears swimming!
Girl Scout cookies are scheduled to be delivered this week! Yay! I ordered extra boxes of thin mints after my husband asked if I ordered enough . . . oops, probably not, better order more!
OMGOSH! LOVING the polar bears! FABULOUS shot!
man! My mouth is now WATERING for GS cookies!!! (I never bought a single box this year. waaaaa!)

Great captures!!!
Love the beautiful smiles on the first one...☺
Where are the Polar Bears -- I swear, when we were there a couple of years ago, we never could find them.
And no, I didn't ask for directions (maybe I'm a typical guy after all...)
LOVE the polar bears! How cool is that?!
Ohhh, I love girl scout cookies! I hope I find some cute little girls sitting on the corner with their cookies all in a row!
